Frequently Asked Questions
Which apple variety works best here?
The author recommends Braeburn or Honeycrisp apples specifically — both hold their shape well when baked and offer a good balance of sweet and tart that complements the cinnamon and local honey drizzle.
How thin should I roll the puff pastry?
The instructions say to roll it very thin into a rectangle shape, using flour as needed to prevent sticking. The thinner pastry bakes into a crispier, flakier base at 400°F in 20 minutes.
